A group of teenagers (14 y.) girls beats/thrashed one 12 y. girl. The boys recorded it and put the film on the web. In many newspapers and TV- / Radio shows those evidences were discussed intensively. The main question was that what is wrong with society; with families; with schools and with girls. Aggressive behaviour used to be the style of masculinity – so; the brutality of the girls was especially hard to understand; at least according to comments in media. The research method here is a content analysis of media in Estonia; during October/November 2022 – starting from those aggressive episodes.
